On the way back.

Yan Jiu took a moment to open the "Life is Higher Than the Sky" account, where the pinned post was a short video clip taken from a live stream.

The tiny off-road vehicle was driving on the highway.

In drone footage, the desert highway winds and twists, circling among the vast expanse of yellow sand.

The road's end, battered by the fierce winds and flying sand, resembled a gaping maw, ready to devour the souls of mortals and condemn them to eternal slumber in this death zone.

The drone crashed.

After a series of crackling sounds.

The off-road vehicle was no longer visible in the video.

The scene captured by the camera was one of suffocating silence.

There was no laughter from off-road broadcasters, no engine noise, and no howling wind.

For a very long time.

Vultures swoop down in search of carrion.

The off-road vehicle never appeared again...

At the end of the short video.

It was accompanied by text and sound.

"This morning, the anchor had an accident while off-roading. We have dispatched a rescue team and are doing our best to find the source."

"We have not yet found any trace of him. We will continue our search and hope everyone will pray for him and wish him peace."

Everyone held onto a glimmer of hope.

Only Yan Jiu knew that the other party was dead.

She frowned.

Staring intently at the endless desert in the video.

The gloomy sky, the desolate desert, and the low-flying, circling vultures weave a picture of an impending storm.

Something seems to be hidden beneath this desert.

What is it?

Yan Jiu exited the video, seemingly lost in thought.

She'll find out someday.

Yan Jiu returned to her account homepage.

She understood why her fan base had grown so much.

Three times a day.

Anyone would go crazy in that situation.

What's most surprising is that there's no connection between the fans of these streamers; the only connection is that Yan Jiu's comments and messages appeared in the streamers' videos or live streams.

This is the main reason why Yan Jiu received so many comments and followed by the fans of the three streamers.

certainly.

This is not the only reason for Yan Jiu's surge in fans.

With Yan Jiu's second broadcast this morning, the old man's death perfectly illustrated what it means to be immersively terrifying.

Netizens have pushed Yan Jiu to the top of the live streaming rankings.

This caused the backend data to keep increasing.

Yan Jiu exited the backstage area.

I clicked on it again.

Um.

One follower.

In no time, it jumped from 300,000 to 400,000.

Compared to the fan growth rate of those popular celebrities in the entertainment industry, she is just as fast.

Yan Jiu kept an eye out for any customers among her fans.

It was discovered that these netizens' IDs came from four different places, and there were indeed people from the same city among the fans.

But.

But few of them lived in the same city as her.

Yan Jiu: "..." I may seem unrestrained and wild, but I actually get sad when I realize I have no clients!

[This is the first time I've seen such a lively comment section! Brothers and sisters, where are you all from? Are there people from your area now?]

Don't even mention it! I finally got a day off, and I witnessed my newly minted fan's streamer disappear!

[Was it after being noticed by Master Jiu that you suddenly became sour?]

This comment was published.

The newly gathered fans realized what was happening.

[In City L, there's a mukbang streamer known as "Big Eater Meow Girl," who was predicted by other streamers to disappear from the scene shortly after she started following them.]

[What a coincidence! There's a game streamer in our city B who also got noticed by other streamers.]

[Uh, all I saw was the streamer saying this morning that the old man didn't have long to live... Mom, I've become a fan of the living devil!]

More and more people are discovering Yan Jiu's strange nature.

They were terrified and kept confirming it.

After confirming that all four people on Yan Jiu's following list had died, she began to unleash a torrent of beautiful vocabulary.

[Holy crap, is this for real?!]

[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! What's going on? Without my knowledge, Master Jiu sent another one away this morning?]

[Is Master Jiu really the King of Hell...?]

[I'm numb. I wish someone would pee on me to wake me up and tell me this was all a dream!!!]

Seeing this.

Yan Jiu: "..." This generation of netizens really has a unique way of waking up.

Fans ≠ customers.

This means that Yan Jiu is unable to conduct offline activities.

She was about to turn off her phone and close her eyes to rest for a while.

They noticed that the truck was moving slower and slower.

"I have good news and bad news." The woman's son glanced at the gas tank, then, remembering his mother's earnest teachings, changed his address: "Which one... Master, would you like to hear?"

Yan Jiu, who didn't want to hear either of them, said, "It's up to you."

"The bad news is the car is out of gas, the good news is there's a gas station up ahead." The aunt's son bluntly stated, and seeing that Yan Jiu wasn't laughing, he joked to himself, "Hey, Master Yan, you have no idea about my humor."

Yan Jiu's lips twitched slightly: "..." You have no idea how speechless Master Yan is!

Not long after.

Yan Jiu stood against the wind.

I watched as the woman's son called for someone to tow the car into the gas station.

Bored, she could only continue scrolling through the comments.

soon.

Her gaze lingered on the top comment with the most likes.

[@SlowWalkNoFarewellFuneralService, Help! I hope the host sees this comment. I suspect my parents are possessed! They actually think my sister, who has lived with us for over ten years, isn't really my sister and want to kick her out of the house!]

[I'll take you up there.]

[You better not be trying to grab attention, kid. I'm sending you to the top of the comments section so more people can see this!]

If the streamer is truly that miraculous, perhaps he could help this young man who's desperately seeking treatment.

[You develop an attachment to a dog after raising it for over ten years. For it to be so cruel to a person, it's probably possessed by a ghost.]
